I love flying over Tianjin in Google Earth and looking at the monster steel production and coal export facilities there, its crazy.

Is that the same company as this headquarters building is for? I guess it's a little like the Chinese equivalent of the US Steel tower in Pittsburgh-larger, more modern, and newer, just like the respective positions of the two cities and the two companies. Both are weird architecture that will generally stand the test of time but never catch on.

Just found this thread, love it. Can someone link to the SSC thread that has more pictures of this?

My thoughts exactly. Flaunt the material you champion as a company in the design of your head office.
